What is the Factory Gear Ratio?

Can anyone tell me what the factory gear ratio was for a 01GT Vert? I cant seem to find it in any of my manuels.

Rear end gear ratio is 3.27:1

"Get some Gear"

Im thinking about it but there are varying opinions as to if is a good idea while running a supercharger. Right now the car hooks up pretty good. Im afraid that if I change I will have traction problems. id be interested to hear from anyone running a kenne bell who has changed.

So I am assuming you have a KB, is that the case? What is your setup? With my procharger and 4.10's, traction is not a big issue. With a KB go with 3.55 - 3.73's.

Yes a kenne Bell with 9psi. Sorry I should have been more specific. I can launch pretty good in 1st with just a chirp of the tires when shifting into 2nd. The Kenne Bell people say gear's won't make a difference but I am not sure I believe it. How much difference did it make on your set up?

The gear was my very first mod, so I have no idea how different it would be with 3.27's. I'd imagine I could launch much harder, but I'm getting used to it with the 4.10's.
